Semiconductor company ASML saw its shares dip on Wednesday morning after its China segment took a hit from new export bans. The equipment maker’s China segment shrank as a percentage of net system sales. ASML stock is down over 5% at the time of writing.

“Demand for chips is outpacing supply. In response, our customers are accelerating their capacity expansion plans for 2026 and beyond,” said CEO Christophe Fouquet in the company’s quarterly results release. In its latest guidance for Q2, ASML raised its 2026 net sales forecast to a range of $42.46 billion to $47.18 billion. That’s up from a range of $40.12 billion and $46.02 billion previously forecasted.

Last week, a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers proposed a bill that would cut off ASML’s sales of DUV machines to Chinese chip companies, thereby affecting its already shrinking sales there. That law still needs to work its way through the U.S. legislative process. While the Dutch chipmaker has never been allowed to sell EUV machines to China, it has long sold its lower-end deep ultraviolet, or DUV, chipmaking machines there. Therefore, China’s ban cuts deeply into ASML’s revenue, scaring off stock investors.

Still, guidance remains high as ASML sees continued demand for its highest-end EUV machines, which are the only tools in the world capable of the lithography needed to make the most advanced chips used for AI. “The semiconductor industry’s growth outlook continues to solidify, driven by ongoing AI-related infrastructure investments,” ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet added in his press release.
